The study examines the interactive effect of spoken words and imagery not synchronized in audio/image surrogates for video gisting. To do that, we conducted an experiment with 64 participants, under the assumption that participants would better understand the content of videos when viewing audio/image surrogates rather than audio or image surrogates. The results of the experiment showed that overall audio/image surrogates were better than audio or image surrogates for video gisting, although the unsynchronized multimedia surrogates made it difficult for some participants to pay attention to both audio and image when the content they present is very different.
